All of these verdicts are based on crimes that Scooter is alleged to have committed himself -- obstruction of justice, perjury, etc. There is nothing that legally can be tied to VP Cheney or anyone else -- because there was no substantive case at all.

But Fitz's hope is that now that he has Libby's 'Nads in a sling, he'll start singing like a canary on Cheney to get a lighter sentence.

You are exactly right, and it's my understanding that the moron lawyer for Libby went RIGHT ALONG with the notion that Libby is innocent BECAUSE he was "under orders" from Cheney. It was a pathetic strategy, and the minute I heard it, I said "uh oh." Now the jurors are saying they should have Rove or Cheney in front of them.
